Texas’ journey towards an NCAA Tournament bid continues on Tuesday night against Iowa State. The two schools have already played against each other this season, with the Longhorns securing a 78-72 win in January.
Tuesday is the second makeup date the road trip to Ames has seen. Jan. 20 was the original date and Feb. 18 was the second one before COVID-19 postponed the matchup again. It will be Texas’ first of three games in six days.
Iowa State lost 14 consecutive games and is 0-15 in Big 12 play this season. Steve Prohm’s team ranks dead last in the conference in multiple categories, including free throw attempts, total rebounds secured and given up, and points allowed.
In order to retain their spot as a four seed in the tournament later this month, the matchup with Iowa State is a cannot lose game. A Quadrant Four loss would be detrimental to Texas’ resume. With Oklahoma on deck on Thursday, finetuning their shooting will be key as well.
